.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions return a pointer to the ELF Compression Header data
structure associated with section descriptor
.Ar scn .
.Pp
Function
.Fn elf32_getchdr
retrieves a pointer to an
.Vt Elf32_Chdr
structure.
Section descriptor
.Ar scn
must be associated with an ELF descriptor of class
.Dv ELFCLASS32 .
.Pp
Function
.Fn elf64_getchdr
retrieves a pointer to an
.Vt Elf64_Chdr
structure.
Section descriptor
.Ar scn
must be associated with an ELF descriptor of class
.Dv ELFCLASS64 .
.Pp
Function
.Fn gelf_getchdr
copies the values in the compression header associated with argument
.Ar scn
to the structure pointed to be argument
.Ar dst .
The
.Vt GElf_Chdr
data structure is described in
.Xr gelf 3 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Functions
.Fn elf32_getchdr
and
.Fn elf64_getchdr
return a valid pointer to the appropriate compression header on success
or NULL if an error was encountered.
.Pp
Function
.Fn gelf_getchdr
returns argument
.Ar dst
if successful, or NULL if an error was encountered.
.Sh ERRORS
These functions may fail with the following errors:
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
.It Bq Er ELF_E_INVALID_SECTION_FLAGS
Arguments
.Ar scn
has invalid flags.
.It Bq Er ELF_E_INVALID_SECTION_TYPE
